I buy it when I have more than enough in my refrigerator to eat for breakfast or the occasional snack. If you live alone and like to cook, it’s probably not a foreign conundrum — throwing out a half-used, wilted bunch of basil before you can get around to making pesto or tossing two-thirds of a lasagne because you can’t stand the sight of it anymore.
